Our country’s systems will not be rid of their vulnerabilities until the Political system’s shortcomings are fixed first. There are institutions to enforce the law, but they are controlled politically as well – whether direct or indirect, nevertheless, Law and Order and the Criminal Justice System cannot function unless the Political system is brought under the purview of the law.
-Prof. Jagdeep Chhokar

The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) is a non-partisan, non-governmental organization which works in the area of electoral and political reforms. Along with National Election Watch (NEW), which is a conglomeration of over 1200 organizations across the country, ADR aims at bringing transparency and accountability in Indian politics and reducing the influence of money and muscle power in elections.
